Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rev. Laura Gillom

Rev. Laura Gillom integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address depression. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives - it helps separate a person from their problems and reframe experiences to support new meanings and strengths.

She may also use Solution-Focused Therapy to quickly identify practical steps and goals that move a person toward desired changes. This approach highlights strengths and small, achievable shifts that build momentum and confidence in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Rev. Laura collaborates with each client to choose methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess which strategies feel most helpful and adapt the plan over time.

Online therapy with Rev. Laura is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and allow clients to access licensed professionals from locations that work best for them.
